Top Amenities For Hospital Patients

By Jansen Wilhelmsen


No one looks forward to a hospital stay and no matter how wonderful your staff may be a hospital can never be as comfortable as one's own home. However, there are a few features you can offer patients that will make their time a bit more pleasant.

Lying in bed for hours and days can leave anyone bored, and there are two types of amenities which can make the time pass more quickly and pleasantly. First on the list would be the internet service you offer. What makes it interesting for them are the services like high-quality and speedy Wi-Fi. Downloading and browsing the net would only be some of the things they can do. If this is also offered in the cafeteria and in the common areas, that would be good too. Everybody would be happy with this kind of service.

Another source of entertainment that you can provide is satellite television, such as acquiring a DirecTV commercial account, is an excellent idea. By using DirecTV, patients and visitors can enjoy as many as 120 channels or more of a wide range of programming. Your patients can catch their favorite sporting events, watch the news or watch movies as they recover from illnesses or surgery, which makes the time pass a bit more pleasantly. Offering Wi-Fi and DirecTV is an excellent option in doctor's offices, as well, to provide something for patients to do while they wait for an appointment.

Some get scared when they are in the hospital and it helps if there is a spiritual advisor to comfort them. A 24-hour spiritualist that offers spiritual care to patients will be a great service for both patient and relatives. Most hospitals would just opt for chapels but it should be good that there are many spiritual caregivers to offer for different types of religions. A counselor who offers a no-religious comfort would also be good for those who do not practice any religion.

If possible, it's nice for patients to enjoy a change of scene. Many patients are encouraged to get up and walk around, and others can be moved using a wheelchair. It is an excellent idea to offer some garden areas where a patient can enjoy fresh air and sunshine in a lovely setting.

Dcor is one of the things you need to improve in a patient room or at the waiting areas and it should be something cool for the eyes. To make a patient feel better, some say some colors are needed that gives off a soothing aura to make a person relax. Artwork too can be a good thing and it should be about nature. Other services other than the usual patient care can also give a better comfort for them than just the patient care alone.
